Pension Legislation
In discussing pension legislation 1 Com
mander Nevius said Investigation will
Mow that there have been many bills
introduced in the national congress upon
different lines called pension bills ask
ing for relief for the veterans upon dif
ferent lines and no prospect of any of
them becoming a law The Grand Mmy
of the Republic tanding united has In
the pst years secured and placed upon
the statute books such pension laws as
are In force and will continue to ask for
tuch relief as shall seem to be equitable
and just And it does not stand In th
way of other veteran organizations secur
ing such legislation l from the national con
gress as they may by their influence ob
tain
I am informed that several depart
ments have passed resolutions along dif
ferent lines anJ favoring different laws
from those which have received the sanc
tion of the Grand Army of the Republic
These resolutions will go into the hands
Df the pension committee and after their
report will receive the consideration of
this encampment I invite your careful
consideration of the subject matter of
these resolutions
The number of survivors of the civil
war at the close of the last fiscal year
ad shown by the report of the commis
sioner of pensions was 62Q9 The num I
ber of survivors on the pension rolls May
U > 190 was SSMll The amount appropri I

Complaints Investigated
The amount appropriated < It spent

the national and state horn e sup
port of old and needy soldier was VIST
XI My attention has been called 10 or
three times to letters from inmate of
the soldiers homes anonymous letters
complalnlg of ill treatment and irregu
larities In the home All of these mat
ters have been carefully investigated and
the complaints found to be without foun I
dation
I received anonymous communications
In regard to the home in California and I
visited the home In company with the of
ficers of the department of California and
Investigated it very carefully 1 found
In this home that all of the Officials were
Grand Army men and in addition to their
pensions were receiving compensation for
such labor as they could perform thit the
surgeons and some of the nurses were
not Grand Army men for the reason that
the Grand Army men In the home would
not or could not perform the duties re
quired of them
The speaker told in detail of the diffi
culties he encountered In securing a round
trip rate of one fare to the Salt Lake en
campment and added
The transcontlental lines operating be
tween the Pacific coast and Salt Lake
City promptly granted me a rate of one
fare for the round trip All roads west
of Chicago have given us a rate of one
fare for the round trip and all east of
Chicago have stubbornly resisted and re
fused to do better than give us a rate
of one and onehalf fare ChIcago and
St Louis This is not as good a rate as
these associations are giving to summer
tourists for the YukonSeattle exposition
but we cannot avail ourselves of the sum
mer tourist rate unless we purchase tick
ets through to Seattle
You will observe comrades that I
have labored earnestly and zealously with
tbe great railroad corporations in the in
terest of the Grand Army of the Republic
for a reasonable rate to and from our en
campment for the men who from 1IC1 to
1 laft bore the brunt of battle and saved
the Union one and indivisible and that
the great railroad corporations which gir
die It with their tracks have no feeling > f
patriotism and make no concessions to the
comrades of the Grand Army of the Re
public

Armory hall was crowded yesterday
morning by veterans who came to hear
the annual address of Comniandertn
hief Henry M Navies After the pre
liminaries of opening the meeting Com
mander Nevius report was read Part of
it follovs
I have received a warm and cordial
greeting wherever I have gone and found
th Grand Army post enthusiastic and
doing the best they could under the cir
cumstances prevailing in their respective
localities
I was treated with great cordiality
southern depart
upon my visits in the
ments and in Atlanta Ga where the
Grand Army of the Republic held a Joint
meeting with H Clay Evans Commander
inchief of the United Confederate Veter
ans and his organization The Stars and
Stripes were conspicuous while the stars
and bars were not in evidence
Our open and public discussion upon
the family trouble existing between the
northern and southern states and between
tie men who had stood upon the firing
line on both sides was moat pleasant
I met the Confederate veterans again
In Denison Tex and at a public meeting
there I divided the time with them upon
the platform I met them also at Bir
mingham Ala and I am satisfied from
all I could see and hear and learn that the
men who stood upon the fighting lines In
the southern Confederacy had had enough
of the war and were anxious and willing
to support the government of the United
States under its flag and that were it
not for others who did not participate in
that great struggle but who are still la
boring to keep alive the lost cause then
would be no difficulty in cementing the
bonds of union between the north and
south

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health
Proper food i is the foundation of
health People can eat improper food
for a time until there is A sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs then all
kinds of trouble follows
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure scientific food
GrapeNuts for it rebuilds from the
foundation up A New Hampshire wom
an says
Last summer I was suddenly taken
with Indigestion and severe stomach
trouble arid could not eat food without
great pain my stomach was so sore I
could hardly move about This kept up
until I was so miserable life was not
worth living
Then a friend finally after much
argument induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try GrapeNuts
Although I had but little faith I
commenced to use It and great was my
surprise to find that I could eat it with
out the usual pain and distress in my
stomach
So I kept on using GrapeNuts and
soon a marked Improvement was shown
I for my stomach was performing its reg
1 ular work in a normal way without pain
or distress
J Very soon the yellow coating dis
i appeared from my tongue the dull
heavy feeling in my bead disappeared
l and my mind felt light and clear the
1 languid tired feeling left and altogether
I felt as If1 had been rebuilt Strength
and weight came back rapidly and I
I went back to my work with renewed
ambition

Emeritus Professor Dodge i
Speaks at Armory Campfire i
At Armory hall last evening a rousing
campfire was held Good music and clev
erly related war reminiscences made the
evening pass pleasantly One of the most
popular features of tha program was the
address of Past Department Commander
Le Vant Dodge professor emeritus of
political science in Berea college Berea
Ky In the course of his address lie acid
This year we dedicate in the nations
capital a monument to Benjamin Franklin
Stephenson which we hope may endure
while our nation lives That monument
mrks him as the founder of the Grand
Army of the Republic Who will say that
he was not inspired Who shall say that
others who have given so much of their
lives to this work have not been di
vinely directed We have to confers and
we do it with deep mortification that more
than half of the survivors of the Union
army are outside our ranks We pity
them more tban we blame them The
Grand Army gospel has not been properly
preached to them
I think it should be an object with us
to put the old soldiers of the country on
record ae making only such claims and
advocating such a policy as will at once
challenge the approval and admiration of
I
those who are in active control of gov
ernmental policy and who give direction
to all of the great Institutions of our coun
try That Is far more important to us
even from a selfish standpoint than to
secure additional pensions for ourselves
or to leave more of material thing to our
heirs At the same time by so doing we
shall be strengthening the very founda
tions upon which our government rests
To live for ones country certainly is
as noble as to die for It and so dear
comrades after all that can be said in
regard to the influence of the Grand Army
of the Republic in conserving the inter
ests of ourselves and those connected
with us not forgetting the abounding
joy which comes from these social meet
ings with the comrades and those who
love them I wish to emphasize the fact
that the strongest claim which our organ
ization has upon us the most farreach
ing work which it has to accomplish is
in the direction of teaching by object
lessons and otherwise precepts of patriot
ism Let us have > ur encampments until
the old soldiers shall be merely a rem
nant of the brilliant and imposing Grand
Army of the Republic
Record of G A R
Business Meetings
Armory hall was the scene of the open
ing of the business session of the Grand
Army of the Republic yesterday morning
when It was discovered that about 736 of
the 1105 members of the G A R en
titled to votes in the encampment were
present with credentials All past de
partment commanders and past officers
of the national G A R besides a dele
gate for every 253 j members of each de
partment is entitled to a vote
Armory hall was found to be altogether
too small to admit all entitled to vote
and after hearing the report of Command
erinChief H M Nevius and receiving
the reports of various officers and special
committees a recess was taken until 2
oclock when it was given out that the
meeting would adjourn to Assembly hall
where the further business of the day
was continued
Previous to the opening of the session
Cooks drum corps and band of Denver
gave an enlivening concert In Armory
hall giving among other patriotic num
bers a musical treat entitled The Battle
of Gettysburg composed and arranged
by the leader Captain George Cook in
terpolated in the piece were strains of
oldtime war songs Auld Lang Syne
The Girl I Left Behind Me bugle calls
the battle scene and concluding with
Tramp Tramp Tramp the Boys Are
Marching The Vacant Chair Nearer
My God to rhee and Taps
These were greeted with round after
round of applause from the old veterans
Large tears coursed down the furrowed
cheeks of many of the old veterans Taps
stirred them to the very souls carrying
them back to clearer recollections of the
battle scenes
No Outsiders Admitted
The business session was strictly execu
tive At the Armory and in the after
noon at the Assembly hall guards stood
at the doors with muskets in hand and
fixed bayonets admitting no one except
old soldiers who were required to give
the password and only delegates to he
ground floor who had proper credentials
CommanderinChief Nevius at the
morning session attempted to read his
report but before he had proceeded very
far his voice failed him and Adjutant
General Frank O Cole who acted as sec
retary during the meeting wan called
upon to finish it Several of the reports
of other officers and committees were to
have been read at the morning meeting
but on a motion they were disposed of
by referring them to various standing
committees
As soon as the afternoon session had
convened hi Assembly hall a motion was
made that the chair appoint a committee
of five to bear greetings to the various
womens auxiliary organizations in ses
sion and a committee composed of the
following was named John E Black E
T Hahn W Witherbee John E Gilman
and Charles A Partridge This commit
tee left immediately upon its errand
bearing greetings from the G A R to
the Womans Relief corps Ladies of the
Grand Army of the Republic and Daugh
ters of Veterans
Following cam a report from Past
Commanderinchief John R King of
Baltimore on the work and recommenda
tions of the pension committee The
chairman of this committee R B Brown
of Zanesvtllc 0 was not able to be
present at the meeting The pension com
mittee it was explained was a perma
nent committee which had been appoint
ed for handling all matters concerning
pensions to veterans and to secure desir I
able legislation In regard to pensions
Demagogues Denounced
In the report of the committee consid
erable stress was laid upon the fact that
Grand Army veterans had been bothered
considerably in getting certain legislation
from congress and had been placed In a
false light before the country through the
Illadvised efforts of many representa
tives in congress who bad ben active in I
thlrbehalfwholtViaschargednsfd I
iw r old soldiers as stepping stones to at
tain national gnltIon or to help them I
advance politically They were terineo
demagogues and were roundly criticised
in the committee report
It was reported that the pension com
Tnittve had so far secured all the desir i
uble Upis > laion in congress that had been
fiMsed that the representatives who had
been s iu > < j i with tjjvir words seeking to
Taf the imiri sf 1c > n that they we
3r1r5 T tl old soldiers when u
1 tuy were ambitious only for I
themselves had never accomplished any
thing that could In any sense help the
veterans In the matter of pensions
The old soldiers did not so the report
read desire to be classed as chronic
beggars they did not relish the con
stant harping among the members of
congress which gave the public the im
pression that they could never be satis
fied or the impression that had been
spread all over the country that the pen
sions they received were in any measure
pay for tho services they had performed
for their country
Following the reading of this report
which was of great length a discussion
arose when a motion was made to refer
It to the committee on resolutions It was
argued that the pension committee was
a permanent committee entirely as Im
portant as the committee on resolutions
and that to refer the report to the latter
committee would savor of an insult Some
warm debate on this point followed and
several suggested and insisted that the
report be referred to the body of dele
gates present for approval or rejection
Others argued that the report had rec
ommendations annexed which should
properly be acted upon by some other per
manent committee preferably the resolu
tions committee and the report was fin
ally referred to the resolutions committee
Battlefields Project
Next in order came a report from Wil
liam J Wells of Philadelphia chairman
of the permanent committee appointed
some years ago to get statistics and data
on a project for the government to buy
the ground on which was fought the two
battles of Bull Run and convert the same
into a national park This report was re
ferred to a proper committee to be filed
away among the papers of the national
organization for future reference if
needed
Then it was moved that as a special or I
der of business roll calls for nominations
of national officers be taken up and that
the elections immediately follow This
motion carried and with little delay the
election of officers was begun it was
moved and carried that nomination
speeches should be limited to ten min
utes and the seconding speeches be limit
ed to three minutes
Nominations for commanderinchlef
were first taken up and the roll call of de
partments for nominations commenced
At the call of Indiana Orlando W Som
ers department commander roe and
presented the name of Judge William A
Ketcham of Indianapolis He occupied
the full allotted time in making the nom
ination going Into the grand record made
by his candidate as a soldier his career
as a citizen and declaring that Judge
Ketcham possessed all the requirements
necessary for an ideal commanderIn
chief He pointed out that his candidate
had always been active in Grand Army
matters had always taken a keen Inter
est In all affairs relating to the welfare
of his comrades had been loyal to them
in time of war and In time of peace
Cheers greeted the nomination and the
roll call continued
When Minnesota was reached the list
Past Command rI Chllf Ell Torrance
rose from his seat but before he could
speak there was tremendous applause and
cries of Van Sant Van SantT came
from many parts of the room Right then
there was little doubt but that the Min
nesota man would be elected
Commander Torrance made an eloquent
talk in presenting the name of Samuel
R Van Sant He nominated him as a man
who had served all through the war who
had enlisted as a private in company A
Ninth Illinois cavalry and who came out
of the rebellion as a corporal whose ser
vice had been faithful all through and
who since the war had made a record as
a civilian that had been a credit to him
self and his comrades of the Grand Army
H1 was presented as a man of sturdy
Dutch ancestry honest fearless loyal
and energetic In whatever sphere he had
been tested
He comes from Minnesota the last
state taken into the Union before Fort
Sumter was flrel upon and the first
state to atiwer to th nations call for
troops said tlv speaker This state
tiieri uparsrly populated besides sending
hpr full junta of > ldlers JT809 of them
to c vjll th rebilli n afterward raised
noujjh rum tit home during their ab
s ncti to put dow one of the most se
rious Indian uprisings this country haa

The speaker stated that ten former gov

worn tn lt lOin bin during the war and

intitijna and tit roll cull for votes wall
commenced When the roll call hail
showed 430 votes for Van Sant and 156 for
Ketcham tli Indiana iundidot rose and
got the attention of the chair interrupt
ing the roll call HP said
q acknowledge defeat I want to make
motion that Samuel U Van Sant bi
declared elected unanimously by this
convention as its commanderinchief and
In doing so I desire to say a few words
He was loudly applauded
Continuing he said that he had been
unduly persuaded by several zealous
friends that he had the timber in him for
Commanderinchief
Why He Entered Race
This he said had been rather against
his own judgment but for the sake of the
few who had sworn loyalty toward him
he had unwillingly to some extent entered
the race He said be had doubted all the
time that the encampment in session
would consider him the right man for the
place but that all thoss doubts had been
dispelled He knew now that he want
wanted He was willing to quit The
votes as far as they had been registered
had persuaded him that he was not the
right man He said in conclusion
I congratulate this convention in its
selection of a good man for this high
pIne He will find that while he is in
office he will have ro more loyal sup
porter than myself I will stand by him
and will rejoice In his election and I now
I move to make it unanimous
Amid mighty cheers waving of hat
and great enthusiasm Van Sant Was de
clared elected and the Indiana excandi
date was appointed a committee of one
to escort him to the platform for a
speech
Van Sant Speaks
The new commanderinchief before
taking his sat made a very brief ad I
dress He thanked the delegates for the
high honor conferred upon him and those
who had elected him for their loyal sup
port He said that there was but one
bitter thing connected with his election
and that was it had cost the defeat of a
man fully as worthy as himself of th
office and perhips more competent to
perform Its duties
lie said that he would immediately tele
graph his partners in business in Minne
apolis the news of his election and ask
for a years leave of absence
It Is my intention he said to de
vote my whole time to the work of the
Grand Army nothing shall interfere with
this new work and I hope that what I
lack in ability I will be able to make up
in the earnestness with which I shall
take up the duties of commanderin
chief
On the roll call of departments Utah
was the only state that presented a can
didate for the office of senior vice com
mander The nomination speech was
made by George B Squires state Insur
ance commissioner of Utah He told of

the entertaining department He stands
well with our people He is competent I
In every way for the office He has al t
ways been loyal to the interest of the I
old soldiers and our present organization
in this state and its prosperous condition
Is due largely to his activity in creating I
enthusiasm and ouilding up the work of

I
Colonel H B Heath of Philadelphia
here opened a discussion on the propriety
of the custom of giving the office of
senior vice commander to the entertain I
ing department He spoke decidedly
